Joe Hendry Discussed For Multiple WWE Tag Teams

Say his name and he appears, but maybe with a tag team partner in the future.

WWE's tag team division is currently in need of a rebuild as the organisation have released several teams during 2026, including The New Day, Motor City Machine Guns, and the Wyatt Sicks, while the Creed Brothers exited the company earlier this month after their contracts expired. Other tag teams, such as The Street Profits, are currently absent from TV while remaining under contract.

The current state of the Raw and SmackDown tag team divisions has drawn criticism from fans but WWE did look to bolster the divisions earlier this year. According to WrestleVotes on Fightful Select, at one point over the summer of 2026 WWE tasked staff with brainstorming different pairings to form new tag teams. Staff were encouraged to think outside of the box in an effort to bolster the tag team ranks and Joe Hendry ended up being mentioned numerous times in different pairings.

After becoming hugely popular through the NXT-TNA working relationship, Joe Hendry signed with WWE in November of 2025 and he moved to the main roster on the Raw after WrestleMania 42.

Hendry has since been in programmes with The Vision and Judgment Day but his recent usage has drawn questions about WWE's plans for the former TNA World Champion as he was squashed by Bronson Reed in 30 seconds on the October 28 episode of WWE Main Event, while Hendry did not appear on the most recent episode of Monday Night Raw and instead spent the show chatting to Club WWE subscribers.
